Excited!!!

Oh how excited am I and let me point out it doesn't take much!! I have received an email from the maternity department at Goole Hospital which I have put on here for you to see:

"Dear Anne

Thank you so much for your kind offer, which, we would be very grateful for – especially very small items for our premature babies.

Kind Regards

Lynda"

This email really made my day and I have also received a letter from Lincoln County Hospital in which they say that they would love to receive knitted items from us unfortunately (and it is only a "little" unfortunately") they are unable to accept crocheted blankets I suppose it is incase small babies get they tiny wee hands caught in the holes BUT knitted was are fine!!

I also had an email from the Communications Manager at DRI (Doncaster Royal Infirmary) saying:

"Anne - many thanks for your message.

Regrettably, we are unable to accept knitted items because of the difficulty laundering them - and, without high-temperature laundry, garments present an infection risk.

I do hope you are able to find another outlet for your groups' efforts.

Regards

Hazel"

I appreciate this but I do know of one other group that knits for different hospitals (142) on a rotation basis.

For Goole I would love to have abox full of items suitable for the small premature babies to take when I have my weeks holiday - I will of course contact Lynda to see if it is ok to take the box in in person and if so I will let you all know.

Finally for those of you who come to the group the next one is on Friday 16th March - crikey thats THIS Friday!!


Until the next update - Happy Knitting!!
